Mineral Rights Valuation Mineral royalties are often valued for Estates, Litigation, and for taxation or taking purposes. Your CPA may value an income stream but the general rule is that those valuations are more than the market value for producing property and less than market value for non-producing (exploration) property. The reason is that production tends to decline with time therefore, royalty income is a declining income stream in most cases. Also, mineral appraisers with a geological background can make some judgments about the long-term potential of such royalty or mineral holdings. To properly do an oil and gas appraisal, the appraiser function is usually best separated from the estimating function. The estimating function sets up the parameters or forecast of the income stream by estimating the remaining reserves, expenses and income associated with oil and gas production. That function is best left to a member of the SPEE or a reservoir engineer or geologist experienced in estimating probable production. The appraising function takes the estimate above and translates it into a traditional appraisal using the Income, Sales, and Cost approaches (actually the Cost Approach is rarely applicable.) |
Geological Hazards Inspection
A pre-purchase inspection of property for geological hazards serves to protect the unwary buyer from disaster. Steep slopes, rock falls, poor soils, flood zones, earthquake risk and other geological problems cost property owners millions annually. Developers risk losing their investment. People’s lives can be at risk.
Because of our construction materials and real estate background, we
can do a risk analysis of visible geological hazards to help protect
you from disasters. The picture of a landslide near Heber Springs,
Arkansas was one that we recently consulted on.
Wellsite Consulting
Having problems correlating your well? Are your mudloggers unfamiliar with the Arkoma Basin? Need general information about the Fayetteville Play? I have 15 years experience in the basin as well as experience in the Eastern Embayment where the extreme edges of the Fayetteville Shale Play is being drilled. I have examined well samples from over 20 wells in Woodruff, Lee, Cross, Crittenden, and White Counties as well as Faulkner, Conway, Van Buren, and Pope County.
